"Love the fact that a 16 gallon tank is almost 3 feet long. Its beautiful to look at. The filter is very quiet. The light is bright and the heater maintains a constant temp that is very close to the marked setting."
"I ordered this aquarium for my shrimp tank, when it arrived it appears as though this is used and was returned to Chewy and then it was sent to me. All parts were opened and packaging loose in the box. The filter does not work which is why it probably got returned. So unhappy about this, I will no..."
